What is the difference between CVVH, CVVHDF, and all the others. Are they just techincal difficulties. Also, how long will a patient remain on CVVH, with no improvment of kidney function, until the Doc recommends dialysis.

here is u r answer

there are types of vascular access avfistula ,internal jugularvein ,femoral vein

when we use avfistula the type of dialysis continous arterio venous hemodialysis(CAVHD)
